Six eyes met, speechless for a moment.
Sometimes when there are too many coincidences, they become less coincidental.
"Grand Mistress? Eldest Young Master... Why are you guys here? "
It was Zou Ling. After being surprised, Xie Jingxi did not seem so surprised anymore. She instinctively put on a polite smile, "Miss Zou Ling, how have you been?"
Zou Ling donned the most ordinary of daily dresses, her face had no makeup, and there was no hair ornament on it, the moment she opened the door, she pounced on everyone's face filled with vitality, her spirit was still the same, and she was as adorable as ever.
"Young master …" No, you can't call me that anymore. Mrs. Gu, are you just passing by or are you just passing by?
Xie Jingxi laughed, and then remembered that the Lady Zeng's ancestral record seemed to be Huainan, "We were just passing by, and we relied on our ancestors, we did not expect to meet someone we know here."
Yes, or do you mean to say that we met everywhere in life, I just wanted to take a look at the place where my mother lived, and accidentally walked here, and felt very comfortable, and thus decided to live here. Sigh, why don't you guys come in and take a seat, there's no one inside, it's my little girl attendant.
"How could that be? We'll temporarily settle down in a small yard nearby and come over to play when we're free."
"Huh? "That's great, now that you're neighbors, come find me if you have nothing else. I don't lack anything."
With an expressionless Master Gu, he was unable to continue with his neighbors. Xie Jingxi exchanged a few words with Zou Ling, and ended the conversation that was both shocked and embarrassed, and went back to the small courtyard with Gu Yun.
Xie Jingxi tugged at his face which was about to turn stiff, "What's wrong with you, little girl? Is there a need to be so cold?
Gu Yun laughed, then took off her dishonest hands, "Why can't you, a little brat, rest for a while? Have you ever seen that girl and I smiling so much, why don't I knock on the door now and smile for her?"
"I was just teasing you, but I saw that you always had a straight face, so I'm afraid that you might be faking something in your heart. Honestly speaking, you must have seen through Zou Ling's thoughts, I'm not that petty, you don't have to worry about me, putting everything else aside, I really like her, even if she's really living next door, it might be embarrassing for me. If you don't like her, let's go somewhere else."
Gu Yun bent down and hugged her, "Didn't I say it before, there are a lot of people who like me, I can't care about them all, and I can't avoid them all either? With your man's face, there will be people looking at him wherever he goes, unless he really lives deep in the mountains or in the forest.
That was true, even if all the girls in the village took a fancy to Gu Yun, only he would not know how to write the word 'awkward'.
"Coming out on such a trip, I really have to get to know you again. That thick-skinned Gu Xuanchen, he makes me speechless. Honestly speaking, when I was hanging out with other girls, there were quite a few of them circling around you right? How could you bear with that?"
"His thick skin is enough to block everything. Don't you think that he is too thick. As long as he is a bit thinner, you will have nothing to do with him."
"Who cares what you have."
"Yeah, we couldn't count the number of people surrounding Xi's wife's butt, so of course we don't care about anything."
Xie Jingxi raised her head and looked at him, "No, I still find it rare. Really, I have to thank you for your thick skin, it's pretty good, keep it safe, in the future you are not allowed to smile with her, even the ladies in the village are not allowed to."
Gu Yun pinched her chin and covered his mouth that refused to let him go. After listening for a while, he hugged her again, "I finally understand how sullen Shen Huanzhi was in the past, it's no wonder he was so bashful, and let you torture him."
"It is rather disappointing for you to say that. However, he did not make me feel oppressed by torture. If I did not torture him, then he would be even more oppressed."
Gu Yun could not stop from laughing, "This is a really good place, there are only eyes everywhere in the capital, if you want to do something you need to close the door, or you need to be at ease here."
He was at ease now, but the two lords who relied on others to serve had to rely on themselves, the small courtyard had no one to stay in for a long time, so they had to clean up. Ming Yu and Zhao Zhang could not stay here, and did not come over for the time being, so they could only do it themselves.
He could use it to dry in the evening, but he didn't have any food to eat. Since there was no town market nearby, he would need to borrow some water from his neighbors. Hmm, looking at it now, it was still quite good to have a neighbor he was familiar with.
"Tomorrow, I'll have to ask Zhao Zhang to send us something." Gu Yun spread out a few quilts and dried them on the bamboo racks, "The old granny's life is too wild, we can't get used to it even though we just moved here from a wealthy place like here."
Xie Jingxi took out a few flowers and herbs seeds, and busied herself with covering the entire small garden, there were some weeds and wild flowers that were still growing strong, after she recuperated, she already saw the whole thing, "Let me think, we need to build another yard by the side, this house is too casual, it's too comfortable to stay here in the summer, but when it's cold, we won't be able to take it, so let Zhao Zhang and his people build it by themselves, when it's raining, it's just right."
Gu Yun went over and scooped up water for her, "Or you could say that there was a wife who thought it through thoroughly, guess who built this house."
Xie Jingxi turned her head away from the light and the warm white light hit her face. She raised her hand to cover it and looked at the thatched cottage behind her in surprise, "Did Grandmother do this?"
"It was made by the old lady. Do you think he's qualified to do this kind of work? In any case, there's no point in picking out what kind of living conditions the old lady has."
Xie Jingxi was elated, "Grandmother is such an interesting person. Previously, I said that she was the one who made the necklace and accessories, and I was already very surprised.
No wonder the Old Man Ji refused to stay in the capital. To have such a small courtyard and to have such a person waiting for him, anyone would have to come back.
was busy to the point that she was almost done, Xie Jingxi planned to borrow some food from Zou Ling's house, but before she went out, she sent it over, Zou Ling did not come, but rather, it was brought over by the little girl attendant in front of her.
"Our lady told us to send it over. There is no market nearby, so you must not have prepared anything just now. Use it first, it's not enough for the house."
Xie Jingxi's little girl was also a clever little girl, her round little face was quite pleasing to the eyes, Xie Jingxi went over to thank her, "Help me thank your miss, that's enough, I just wanted to borrow some, to save me the trouble of running errands, when everything is done, you guys can all come over to play."
"Sigh, alright. Mrs. Gu, you don't have to be so polite. I'll be going now."
After the delivery man left, Gu Yun and Xie Jingxi could not stop laughing at the two baskets. When the delivery man left, Gu Yun and Xie Jingxi could not stop laughing at the two baskets.
Gu Yun supported himself with his hands behind his back, "What are you laughing about, are you stupid?"
It's been a long time since we've had such an interesting thing, eating in two boxes, how can we be so satisfied, this is sent by our neighbors, it's given to us to solve our current problem of eating and warming up. Without them, we would have to starve in the night, and Wan Cheng's family's wealth is not good to put aside, so we have to rely on our hands to get along with our neighbors, and if we don't get it, then we'll have to be satisfied, really, especially satisfied.
Yeah, Gu Yun looked up at the sky and saw the dazzling light. He squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
Gu Yun was a young master who had never been through any hardships since he was born. Even if his life was not very smooth, and he had suffered many hardships, he would never starve to death, and there would always be people waiting on him wherever he went. He did not have the chance to experience the happiness he got from eating one meal, or to say that he did not have any opportunities to experience any kind of happiness.
However, this life had already been cut off since her previous life, and it seemed as if it had never happened before. Today, these two boxes of food had brought all of her senses up, and originally, there were some things that she did not dare to think about before, nor did she dare to think about in the future. But right now, she really wanted to grab hold of them.
The two of them sat in this position for a long time, each holding their own feelings and feelings of joy. They sighed with emotion about their past, rejoiced that they were together and glad that they were still together.
"Hey, Master Gu. It's time to put away the bedding. It's already getting sunburned."
"Young lady Xi, it's time to start a fire to cook.
"Underestimate me." Xie Jingxi gave a provocative snort, standing up from the ground and holding a bundle of firewood, ready to start a fire.
After Gu Yun put away the bedding, he went over to the small kitchen and leaned on the door as he watched her busy himself. He was actually very curious about what kind of array she would come up with.
Unexpectedly, she was able to light a fire. Compared to her horrible cooking skills, the fire she could make was very lifelike. Of course, this was not what she had learned after being captured. Back then, she had lived in the small courtyard for more than ten years, but she could take care of herself with everything except cooking. It wasn't that she wasn't willing to learn, it was that she was not made for that.
"Why do I see you like this? This job seems like it's done a lot. Did you experience such misery when you were young?"
Xie Jingxi's hand paused, and she thought back to those unbearable years. Her unlucky hand was struck by a fire, and in her panic, she brought out a handful of burning firewood. She almost rushed to the roof to burn the house.
